2 Module Series

An Introduction to Social Thinking Vocabulary & Treatment Frameworks

About This Series

To teach components of the Social Thinking Methodology well means we need to consciously avoid assumptions about an individual’s working knowledge of the social world. In these modules, we will introduce core Social Thinking treatment* frameworks and vocabulary for use with individuals of different ages and social learning abilities. These modules represent a sampling of some of our core frameworks and strategies and are intended to give viewers an introduction to how to teach students to think socially to develop self-awareness of the concepts. The Social Thinking Vocabulary was developed to: a) give professionals and parents a common vocabulary, b) make abstract social concepts more concrete, and c) give students and clients a practical way to understand social expectations. The modules in this series show practical ways to teach understanding (input) of social concepts before practicing social skills (output).

*Treatment refers to using conceptual and strategy-based frameworks to help individuals improve their social thinking, skills, and competencies.
